The New York-based founder and CEO of fast food chain Golden Krust Caribbean Bakery and Grill, reportedly killed himself inside his Bronx factory on Saturday December 2nd.

57-year-old Lowell Hawthorne, allegedly shot himself to death inside the Bronx factory, at the Park Ave. disclose near E. 173rd St. in Claremont about 5:30 p.m. He also left a note which is yet to be disclosed.

Police reports say, Hawthorne who emigrated to the United States from Jamaica and opened his first Golden Krust operation in 1989, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The authorities also revealed that he was deep in tax debt and was being sued by a former staffer for thousands in lost wages, court records show.

Lowell Hawthorne was “worried” about the liens, which included more than $150,000 in city taxes on the company’s buildings, a police source said.

In addition to Hawthorne’s state tax issues, it was revealed that a former maintenance staffer was suing him in Manhattan Federal Court. One-time employee Robert Wray said he was never paid for the overtime he worked during his 11-year tenure.

Wray’s May 8 lawsuit contends more than 100 other Golden Krust staffers were similarly stiffed on OT.

The Golden Krust Caribbean Bakery and Grill is known for its beef patties, which later grew into a franchise that now includes more than 100 stores in nine states.

Popular comedian, Gbenga Adeyinka, broke the sad news Tuesday night; “We lost him. What a great loss. An icon is gone”, he wrote on his Instagram page.

Baba Sala, disclosed his illness at a briefing held on his biography due for presentation on December 4, where he looked frail and spoke with difficulty.

“I need help. Nigerians should help me. I am not dead yet, they should not let me die suffering”, he said.

Baba Sala’s first son, Reverend Dele Adejumo, had said the octogenarian was not suffering from old age but lack of funds for medical treatment, adding that his investments had all been wrecked by poor management.

Adejumo said, “He has investments but they have all been wrecked by mismanagement. He also had a three-storey building in Mushin, Lagos which he had to sell to offset debt incurred when his work, Orun Mooru, was pirated.

“We still have some of his recorded works not in public yet but machines that will be used to transform them to an acceptable format are not easily available. We do not have the kind of money they are charging us.

“We have been told that baba needs a lot of money for medical treatment abroad. He is suffering from a stroke and other ailments.

“There are many people of his age who are not like this. We are trying our best as family members. We take him to the teaching hospital weekly but he needs proper medical attention.”

Significantly, Baba Sala started his career in show business as a Highlife musician, fronting in 1964 a group known as the Federal Rhythm Dandies where he tutored and guided the jùjú music maestro King Sunny Ade who was his lead guitar player.

The Intelligence Response Team (IRT) under the watch of an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Abba Kyari at the weekend, lost one of it's gallant officers to the cold hands of death.

The gallant officer was one of the leading ‘field detectives’ who tracked and demystified Lagos based billionaire kidnapper, Chukwudumeme Onwuadike aka Evans.

It was in the middle of a similar arrest that the suspect pumped bullets into Lanre’s stomach while his colleague got shot in the hand.

Unperturbed by the surprise attack, both the late Sergeant and others chased after the kidnappers and killed the man that fired the killer shots.

The bullets lodged in their bodies were later extracted with medical teams on ground confirming that the injured Policemen were responding to treatment.

But tragedy struck a few days later. It was discovered that Sergeant Lanre who had opened his eyes and exchanged pleasantries with his colleagues, gave up the ghost.

“It is really sad and painful altogether. We have not been able to tell his wife and other family members yet. This is the risk of the job we are talking about; we put our lives on line for others, yet when it is time for promotion, one thing or the other will happen and the list will be kept in view.

“Look at this now, Sergeant Lanre was one of the men that put his life on the line to arrest Evans and now he is dead. We don’t even know how to break the news to his wife and family. It is painful,” one of his colleagues said at the weekend.

The commander of IRT, ACP Kyari, is said to be in deep pain over Lanre’s death.

A source close to his office that confirmed the tragic exit of Sergeant Lanre said arrangements are already being made for a befitting burial.

Davido Gets New Hair Cut In Honor Of His Cult Group “Neo Black Movement”

Fans of Big Brother Naija winner, Efe and his “lover”, Marvis are
currently tearing themselves apart in the comment section of Marvis
page, and some serious allegations were made.

Efe Fans are still bitter and ranting about the fact that Marvis said she can never date Efe.

Efe,Marvis and Bisola

Efe Fans already turned Marvis page to a war zone, with many calling
her series of names.. Most of the allegations there, are lesbianism
claims, ritual claims, abortion claims.

One even claimed Marvis has a child.

According to what can also be deduced from the comment section, the
brawl started when some Marvis fans took to Efe’s page to blast him and
all and so in retaliation, the Based on Logistics’ crooner’s fan stormed
Marvis page to return the favour.

The fight even involved Marvis sister – who had allegedly asked Efe to tell his fans to stop with the hate and disrespectful comments, cause they’d listen to him – who they pressed some serious allegations her and her way of life.

Following viral report that Nigerian music star, Wizkid became the
first African to sell out a show at the Royal Albert Hall in London , in
an electrifying night with thousands of fans and fellow Nigerian
artists Skepta and Tinie Tempah in attendance, it appears, however, that
this information, may not have been completely true even though Royal
Albert Hall sent out a tweet, sharing the historic news.
On Sunday, Twitter user, Mr. Aye Dee , pointed out that Wizkid is not
actually the first African, or Nigerian artist for that matter, to sell
out the famous hall, perhaps just the first since many of his younger
fans can remember. According to him, Sade sold-out the auditorium back
in 1993.
On October 2,The Royal Albert Hall, sent out a tweet, stating that they
“may have got that wrong,” and named Miriam Makeba as another sold-out
solo African headliner.

One of Africa’s excellent duo; Psquare
just split up amidst a lot of controversies, and even though we will
love them to be together, we still have to access the situation to
determine if they will do better as Peter and Paul doing their thing
individually.Over the years Psquare made major hits and rocked the
entertainment scene within and outside the African continent.

The irony of their breakup is the lyrics
of one of their song which says “Peter and Paul dem be one no be two”
but this split up shows that they are individual humans and you can
never predict the future!

News broke out days ago, after Peter
who is now Mr. P made a public statement, about him terminating his
agreement with Paul and Jude edges. The team had previously split, but
after fans cried out, they got back together again. But now it’s obvious
that they have split for good after the statement made by Mr. P where
he cried out, saying his family has been threatened, and for the sake of
peace, he has to back down.

They are not the first team to split
in Nigeria, as we reminisce on Plantashion Boyz, KC Presh and co.
Plantashion Boyz split up and 2Face Idibia has done well for himself,
creating international music and made himself a legend and an Icon. Faze
Alone also did well for himself, but 2Baba properly outshined them.
Black Face happens to be the black sheep as his music did not only do
badly, but he always makes people believe he has hatred for the widely
accepted 2Face, by negative comments he makes about him, and that has
further tarnished his image.

KC and Presh split up and KC is doing very well while Presh seems to be in a hole somewhere in Madagascar.

Now Psquare has split up, and we can’t
help but wonder if they will both excel in the industry, or will one
follow the Black Face route?

Wizkid and his close counterpart, Davido have been
doing so well in their musical career they look like the Messi and
Ronaldo of the Nigerian music industry.

The two have tons of awards and hits to their name and a fanbase so large, they look like the only two artiste in Africa.

With their fans constantly at loggerheads it's quite hard to tell who
stands out more amongst the two musical geniuses but a recent fact
revealed by Africa Facts Zone shows that Davido might forever remain in
Wizkid shadow.

With a career span of over 10years, Starboy chief, Wizkid has never for
once paid for a collaboration, however Davido on the other hand is known
to freely throw money at foreign artiste for a feature even sometimes
paying as high as $300,000 for a song with Meek Mill, many Nigerians
can't even remember.

That doesn't take away the top level of his talent and delivery which
has so far made Davido a household name in Africa, but just as Messi has
more Ballon D'or than Ronaldo regardless of his skills, so also does
the Starboy holds more value than the DMW boss, regardless of his voice.
